When snatching the bell don’t let the bell get too far out in front of you.

59 yo male currently do these conditioning kettlebell workouts monday through friday and i row on a concept 2 monday through friday. Mostly zone 2. Im trying to lose weight. I’ve lost 25 pounds amd want to lose five more and stay fit.

I had been doing the 12 minute foundation training video to warm up along with some shoulder prehab. I really try to prime my hips for the many cleans and presses. I find that when I skip the foundation warmup, my lower back is super tender and sore later on. How does everyone else warm up for The Giant or other C/P-focused workouts?

I’m also not sure if my cleans are great yet. I’ve posted a few videos and I still feel like sometimes my arms take over.

24M, 5'7", 67 kg. I have some muscle definition but carry extra fat around my midsection.
I trained with a 12 kg kettlebell until the year before last, then barely trained after an accident last year. I'm getting back into it with an 18 kg bell.
I'm running this routine 3 days a week: https://youtu.be/zGxnnKrvDvY, with a pull-up routine on the other 3 days. I'm only one week in.
My problem is the overhead press. With the 18 kg, I can't hold 5 reps per side past round 3-4.
Questions:
Is this normal for a first week back, and should I keep running the routine to build strength?
Or is a different program a better fit for my situation?
Any advice is appreciated.

I also do SUP paddle up practice on a wingfoil board, and I felt my left shoulder get a little twingy.

Not sure which it was - the move up or the paddle up.

But the solution?

Doing some Turkish Get Ups.

I don't do them very often, but I love that they are in my toolbox to solidify the shoulders.

I followed your advice and watched a few tutorials; I’ve now tried to edit my old thread from two weeks ago and upload my new video, but I can’t seem to manage it.

Hence this new post.

Anyway, I think the technique’s a bit better now.

It’s lacking a bit of energy, or perhaps speed, but maybe that’s normal given the sluggish weight of 16 kg (?).

Thanks, everyone. k

16kg - 24kg - 32kg

2 Snatch - 1 Windmill - 3 Overhead Squats

Full body power with the snatch. Complete rotational control with the windmill. Total movement mastery under load with the overhead squats.

Inspired by Dan John's ABC and built to compliment it.

How heavy can you progress while maintaining ownership of the weight?

Ladders sets.

Stacking TGU up to 3 then back down.

Hello All,

I want to buy this kettlebell from decathlon that can go up to 24 kg as i just want to start kettlebell training, is this a good one or do you recommend another one

Thank you everyone

Just to clarify, I am no beginner. Been doing a variety of different programs for the past 10 years. Personally, I am at a point in my fitness career where fun is essentially the most important part to me. Progressive overload is still a core principle, but I am more concerned with just keeping things fresh to avoid burnout/boredom.

So, my question for you kettlebell enthusiasts, do you follow a specific written program, or do you just kinda do whatever you feel like doing day to day?

My favorite thing about KB is the versatility, the sky being the limit. You can really get creative coming up with different complexes or movement patterns. For example, recently I've been doing single kb work in a 3x3x3 format, 3 cleans, 3 press, 3 FS emom style.

Any tips are appreciated

Playing with some single leg transitions I saw on the webbbbb lol so hard so fun 8 kg and a bottoms up get up to wake shizzzz up

And then me fing around some more with internet things and waking up poor Winnie girl 😅😂

Did 3’(4’)x3. 8 rpm and then 8,8,10 on this last set. Not super happy with my cleans. Sloppy elbows galore, especially at the end. I enjoyed all the extra rest I gave myself between sets though 🤣 My lungs are still cranky from being sick.

I complain a lot about LC but what a beautiful movement when you get in the groove. There’s beauty in all of it but I’m too tired to write an essay today lol. I just really fucking love lifting.

Thanks to recording myself, I noticed that my left arm path is different than the right one. Left elbow goes more to the outside. I wonder what the reason is for so visible imbalance, especially that my right arm and shoulder are stronger side.

Hey guys, this is my first kettlebell workout and I need some help figuring out what I’m doing wrong. I’m a beginner so everything feels awkward and I need some feedback. Everything was much harder than I expected but I’m trying to stay positive!!

Notes for the swing:
- I kept forgetting that it was a hinge movement and I can see some unnecessary arm movements.

- at some points, I felt like the kettlebell was dragging me rather than me controlling it (10 kg).

- also I felt like the base of my neck but looking back at the video, I kept moving my head back and forth.

Please be kind and helpful, thank you!!
